In a time of copy and paste it is so important to create something new and nurture our own individual strength rather than look to others and try to imitate them.

Because in the end what we tell is who we are.

And that was exactly what I thought to myself on my fourth visit to Starbucks after crossing over from Mexico.

What’s your name?, the lady behind the counter asked, while scribbling something on a plastic cup.

To be honest, I had grown tired of spelling my name 3 times.

JOHN, I replied.

With a John-cup in my left hand I was heading out of Downtown San Diego.
